I use 3/4" particle board , about $8.00 a 4'x 8' sheet.
for flex-watt heat tape i like the 6watts per foot
from Big Apple about $2.50 per ft.
For a table saw i like just about any belt drive.
Good Luck, racks are the way to go, unless you only have 1 or 2 snakes.

what are the demensions of the rubbermaids in your rack for your large eastern and florida kings?

I don't have the dimensions of my sterilite tubs handy at the momment, but my biggest kings are housed in 106 qt. tubs which is more than enough cubic vol., i use rubber maid water bowls not tubs.
